1. Building scalable, robust platforms to support personalized & contextualized ranking of search results for millions of daily Bing users.
2. Experiment with radical techniques to increase the coverage & quality of personalized and contextual signals.
3. Analyze the results of users interacting with Bing and your experiments to provide insight for feature development and refinement
